August Block of the Month - posting for Danielle - it's early!

I'll be on vacation next week and not close to a computer. So I thought
that I'd post the BOM early instead of having everyone wait until the 7th.
Thought there might be some itchy to start! grin

How this BOM works is I will post block patterns each month near the
beginning of each month. One is pieced, one appliqué and one paper pieced.
It is up to you which one (or ones) you would like to do. You will work at
your own pace over the course of each month. You keep your blocks. You do
not mail them to me. At the end of the year you will have twelve blocks to
set into a quilt. You keep the quilt. You do not mail it to me (unless you
really feel the need to give me this gift!). You will then have your very
own 2006-2007 RCTQ BOM quilt. When I announce a month's block patterns, I
will also include the previous months' as well so if you decide to join
along the way you will have all the blocks. Pieced blocks and paper pieced
blocks will be 12" in size whenever possible and appliqué blocks will be
whatever I can find that is available. Feel free to size up/down if you so
chose.



This BOM will run from April 2006 through May 2007. This is how the
schedule breaks down:
================================================== =============

April 2006 - March 2007: Monthly blocks

April 2007: Completing the Top (setting, sashing, borders, etc.)

May 2007: Completing the Quilt (quilting, binding, labeling, etc.) - Done!



Marcia Hohn has a pin rating on her site (www.quilterscache.com) that rates
the level of difficulty of her block patterns. One pin blocks are fairly
simple and they increase in difficulty as the number of pins increase. I
will start with one pin blocks and increase our difficulty as we go so that
we are challenged, but not overwhelmed! I also consider myself a fairly
novice quilter, and these will all be blocks I would be willing to try
(well, maybe not the appliqué). Most of the blocks with only have three
colors to them; however, some of them may have four.



Finished blocks can be seen at

Thanks for reposting all the patterns. If I can build up
my stash again, I look forward to catching up with you all!

Now I remember what I was going to do yesterday afternoon. I still have one
June block to finish. Maybe after work today.

Yippee! I was so hoping this block would be used that I already had
downloaded it to use to replace any month's block I didn't like as
much. I even have a few new yellow fabrics to use in the petals, and
new lime fabrics for the leaves and stem. Now if I just had time to
actually sew the block I'd be in heaven.

Isn't time always the problem? :-) I worked 18 days in the past 3 weeks so
today was spent catching up with housework and a little yardwork. Maybe
tomorrow I can work on some blocks or at least fondle fabric.

What size are you doing your applique blocks, and which applique
technique(s) are you using? I have been making mine the same size as
the pieced blocks so my applique pieces won't be too small, but this
one would be really hard if I were making small blocks.

For some reason, it seemed like a good idea to make the applique blocks
6.5". My ultimate plan is to do all 3 blocks every month and use them all in
one quilt. So I will put 4 applique blocks together to make 12.5" blocks,
which would give me 24+3= 27 blocks. So I will make duplicates of some of
them and produce 30 blocks. Set 5 X 6, should be a useful size!

The sunflower is done, thought it best to just jump in and get it over with.
Came out OK! Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! The others will have to wait
a bit, I'm machine quilting something and need to get it finished.
